I like to make these after dinner so that they’re ready the next morning. I love to have them as a quick breakfast when I don’t have time or I’m too lazy to make anything other than coffee! These are also a great way satisfy your afternoon sweet tooth.

A serving of 5 date balls is approximately 260 calories, has 5.6 grams of dietary fiber, 5.5 grams of protein and close to 10% of the recommended daily intake of iron!

Ingredients:

15 pitted dates

½ cup cashews

2 tbsp flax meal

1 tbsp raw cacao powder

1 tbsp hemp seeds

1 ½ tbsp. melted coconut oil

Makes approximately 25 date balls.

Directions:

1.) Slightly mix all of the ingredients, except coconut oil, in a bowl or place directly into a food processor.

2.) Add the melted coconut oil to the mix in the food processor. Process ingredients until they’re all a kind of paste.

3.) (You’ll get a little messy and sticky in this step!) With clean hands, pick a tablespoon-sized piece from the mixture and roll between your palms into a ball. Continue making balls from the mix until you’re all done!

4.) Place each ball into a container with a top (like a flat Tupperware), then put container in the fridge for at least 2 hours so they can set.
